Neighbors,

Please note this upcoming event organized by neighbor Jerry Wolosenko to benefit Ukraine this Sunday at noon at the Coolidge.  It's a busy weekend but the program looks powerful and of course the need is great.  If you can't attend, here's a link for donations: https://www.standwithukrainethroughfilm.org/

Hope to see you there.  Please help spread the word.

Hi Anne,
I know that you have seen my announcement about this event on FB but I thought I would provide a bit more info about the program (below) and a digital (Jpg) image of the flyer (attached) for further distribution.. I hope you can attend. I think it will be an informative and entertaining experience. Also, could you help with "spreading the word" to your friends and social media contacts. 

Thanks,

Jerry

Coolidge Corner Theater “Stand with Ukraine” Fundraiser

The Coolidge Corner Theater, New England's most successful independent, nonprofit cinema will be hosting a Ukraine Relief program on Sunday, April 24th at 12PM.  The Theater is forgoing all fees so all the proceeds from the event will go to Ukraine relief organizations.

The Coolidge will be screening the critically acclaimed “The Guide” a 2014 Ukrainian film set against the backdrop of Soviet efforts to exterminate Ukrainians in the 1930s that provides a historical context for understanding the continuing persecution of Ukrainians by Russian aggression. Oles Sanin, the film’s highly regarded Ukrainian director, has provided a 5 minute video to introduce the film. 

The event will be hosted by leadership of  Coolidge Corner Theater. The film will be introduced by Yuri Shevchuk a film scholar and expert on Ukrainian cinema who teaches at Columbia University. A Q&A will follow the film screening. Local political leaders will attend including Sate Senate Majority Leader, Sen Cynthia Creem.

There will be a musical group performing before the event. The Theater is aggressively promoting the screening and they are expecting a sold-out venue. They are expecting robust coverage by the Boston media.

This a terrific opportunity to demonstrate support for, and to meaningfully help maximize contributions to, the Ukraine relief effort.

Tickets are on sale now AND the Coolidge Corner Theater website will provide the capability of collecting donations from those who won't be able to attend the event but want to support the fundraiser.
